Can't install under Fedora 23

The rpm package provided by http://binaries.html-tidy.org/ does not install under Fedora 23.

The error provided by dnf is:

Error: Transaction check error:
  file /usr/share/man from install of tidy-5.1.25-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.2-35.fc23.x86_64
  file /usr/share/man/man1 from install of tidy-5.1.25-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.2-35.fc23.x86_64

@jsmad thanks for the report...

Sorry there is an install problem, and hope someone with Fedora 23 can shed some light on the problem...

It's a problem w/ CMake/CPack. I verified the package metadata, and it owns directories from base system package filesystem.
Fixed by the PR #366

Installs fine now

Excellent!

When I tried it, I had to exclude many more folders:

SET(CPACK_RPM_EXCLUDE_FROM_AUTO_FILELIST "/usr;/usr/bin;/usr/share;/usr/share/man;/usr/share/man/man1*;/usr/include;/usr/lib")

However, I might need to do a clean. Verifying.

[mojavelinux]

Yep, your patch works perfectly for me. The relevant bit from the generate spec file is as follows.

%files
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
"/usr/share/man/man1/tidy.1*"
"/usr/bin/tidy"
"/usr/include/tidy.h"
"/usr/include/tidyenum.h"
"/usr/include/tidyplatform.h"
"/usr/include/tidybuffio.h"
"/usr/lib/libtidys.a"
"/usr/lib/libtidy.so"
"/usr/lib/libtidy.so.5"
"/usr/lib/libtidy.so.5.1.36"

Notice it includes no paths owned by the system.

Great work @hguemar!

[hguemar]

The variable you used override default paths from CPack, CPACK_RPM_EXCLUDE_FROM_AUTO_FILELIST_ADDITION can be used to easily add more paths without this side effect

[mojavelinux]

It looks like this eliminates the need for an upstream patch in Fedora.

https://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/tidy.git/tree/0001-allow-modified-install-paths.patch

So it should be possible now for Fedora to package this without modification.

Here's the upstream (downstream?) package:

https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/tidy

[mojavelinux]

@hguemar Now I understand. Excellent!
